Consumer Description

WHEN WE DRIVE THRU A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER (PUDDLE) WITH THE RIGHT FRONT, THE CAR STALLS. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE REPORTED IN YOUR COMPLAINTS DATABASE & AM WONDERING IF ANY ONE HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM YET. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WATER GETS ON THE SERPENTINE BELT & IT SLIPS & STALLS THE CAR. ONCE IT EVEN RESTARTED AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT SHUTTING THE KEY OFF & RE-STARTING. THIS SEEMS VERY ODD TO ME. HOW DOES THE ENGINE REFIRE WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY? *AK
